Orochimaru is dead, the snake that got away being burnt by Itachi's black flame and dying was symbolism of that. Unless you mean his reincarnation through that Medical Ninja that hung out with him...Whose name escapes me right now.

What is really sad is that Kakashi looks like he is far far behind in the whole eye wars thing. And he is the new hokage. We need to see a power up for Kakashi or there are way too many characters out there that could own the Leaf's Hokage.
